Gable Steveson · 88%

Strong FightLedger lean — one of the higher-confidence picks on the card.

Prediction

Steveson is the strongest FightLedger lean on the card. His elite wrestling base should let him dictate where the fight happens, create top position and force Sharaf to defend rather than build offense. At heavyweight, dominant control can quickly turn into ground-and-pound.
